The Switch provides more efficient throughput for large
sequential data transfers by supporting jumbo frames
up to 10240 bytes on the Gigabit ports and mini jumbo
frames on the 10/100Mbps ports . Compared to standard
Ethernet frames that run only up to 1 .5 KB, using jumbo
frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead
required to process protocol encapsulation fields .
To use jumbo frames, both the source and destination
end nodes (such as a computer or server) must support
this feature . Also, when the connection is operating at
full duplex, all switches in the network between the two
end nodes must be able to accept the extended frame
size . And for half-duplex connections, all devices in the
collision domain would need to support jumbo frames .
Enabling jumbo frames limits the maximum threshold for
broadcast storm control to 64 packets per second .
